I'd be interested to know whether PC bargain-hunters understand the difference between Linspire and XP, or whether they'll just think that the base model has no OS installed.

BTW, you may not want to click on the more expensive deals - they all appear to include XP, and the link fires off to www.google-analytics.com, which suggests to me that somebody else is interested, too. You might not want them to see too many hits on the XP options.

If you look at the small print, the advert says something about not all hardware is guaranteed to work under Linux!

Yet it would be so easy to create a PC on which all Hardware worked under Linux. I would be happy with "All Hardware Tested Under Linux (maybe a brand & edition number)".

I have to say that if this were someone other than Time, it would be good. Their hardware and after-sales has not been the best, I won't say what I really think as I don't want to be sued and neither does this site.
